Acer palmatum var. dissectum ‘Garnet’

Acer palmatum var. dissectum ‘Garnet’ is a compact grower with finely-divided leaves. During the spring, the foliage is vibrant-red, which darkens to a crimson-red to deep-burgundy color in the summer and finally transitions to a vivid red-purple hue during the autumn. Acer palmatum var. dissectum ‘Garnet’ prefers moist, well-drained soils but may suffer from leaf scorching due to excess sun, wind, or drought. Additionally, it is cold-hardy and an excellent option for bonsai enthusiasts. Acer palmatum is deciduous and native to Japan, Korea, China, eastern Mongolia, and southeast Russia. Acer palmatum var. dissectum ‘Garnet’ was selected by Guldemond & Co in Boskoop, Netherlands and released into commerce in 1960.
